Coming from a graphic design background, I wanted my work to stand out amongst the usual imagery that comes to mind when thinking of comics. I knew that the other artists presenting would be coming from illustration backgrounds. For me, I thought of the notion of deconstructing the comic book itself. Uses of moirė patterns, exclamation points, cartoon bubbles, and other pieces come into play while incorporating imagery from Siegell's poem itself.

The three piece set encompasses one of Siegell's poems entitled,"*WE’VE COME FOR YOUR LEGEND OF SHIFT+7*" found in its entirety below:

"Zeus pulled his electric chair up to the table saw, clutchedhis forklift, his jackknifed tractor trailer, & gorged himselfon a tectonic plate of angel hair & eggplant. Some serving!Blasé, Ptolemy meh’d the meal, but still the clink of flutes.What do you mean exactly? scavenger hunt. The Pleiades!From her penthouse atop the W Hotel, Cassiopeia lovinglyspooned Ptolemy’s tapioca from out of Kalamazoo to feedthe ex-Kuala Lumpurians living in Tuscaloosa—When theex-Kuala Lumpurians requested more, she downloaded ontothem mpegs of the chef show: Mama Enigma’s Cassava.& then, while discussing asparagus with Degas after fuelin’up for a whirl, Pegasus asked: How come the comfort of softhot pretzels hasn’t twisted into ampersands—& vice versa?"

Since Siegell's poem had numerous typographically strong elements (&, W Hotel, ?, !), I thought these would translate well into this notion of a deconstructed comic. Using primary colors, I wanted the audience to be intrigued by each piece individually and as a whole. Each panel is one sentence from Siegell's poem. The typography is taken from Siegell's branding, which uses a Helvetica Bold at 16pt for the majority of his work and explorations.
